    I would be most flattered if you did, Andy

    In my opinion, it's pretentious to " label " photos such as " Doc Alan photography ". I'm not a professional photographer and I'm happy if anyone wishes to copy my " images " - indeed they have already appeared on other internet sites .

    Similarly, no one has challenged my use of " vintage " Philippines photos ( scanned from postcards ) or banknote and coin images ( also scanned and acceptable as they are not the same size as the originals ). For me, it's a hobby and I'm glad if Forum members find them interesting.

    The " Coins and Banknotes " thread ( " Living in the Philippines " section ) seems to have attracted additional viewers who might not have otherwise discovered the Forum, which must be good news .

    Doc you know I'm not overly enamoured with Boracay but your photos are first class particularly the sunsets - unless you've got one of Crafty's bar I might have to use the Crab & Lobster one for wallpaper

    Thank you Ded ! I do know your thoughts about Boracay, and took your advice to visit Crafty’s – but not for a drink or meal, just to take this view :-





    Here’s another view of the crab and lobster for your " wallpaper " !





    I should add, in view of Joebloggs’s thread (http://filipinaroses.com/showthread....-Boracay-water ), that I suffered no ill effects from swimming off White Beach – although sadly there’s visible pollution in the form of plastic rubbish ( China, Indonesia, and the Philippines are especially guilty of marine pollution by such materials ) .

    I havent been to boracay in years,its changed beyond recognition judging by the pics,its got an airport now?Isnt there talk of a bridge being built over to it?



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    That's the airport in Caticlan but they were thinking of building one on a neighbouring island (Carabao).
